About This Item
Los Angeles, CA: Students of Occidental College, (1905). First edition. RARE 1905 GRADUATION ISSUE. Large 8vo (7 x 10") gilt-embossed heavy black envelope-style paperwraps; 112 pages, including ads. Includes the first appearance of Robinson Jeffers' poem, "The Stream" on p. 71 (preceding the October 1905 issue of Out West Magazine, which is erroneously listed as first in Alberts). Photos and mentions of Jeffers are sprinkled throughout. He makes two appearances in cap and gown; appears in group photo of Stevenson Literary Society and Track Team photo. Front cover starting, rear cover detached but present, small chips and tears to rear flap fold, 1-inch loss of paper at head of unprinted spine. Interior clean and tight, and despite the noted wear, the fragile covers are still quite attractive. There were only 18 students in the graduating class, so it seems safe to assume only a small number of copies were printed. Understandably rare. Also included is a fine copy of the 20 x 26" centennial celebration poster issued by the college featuring Jeffers' poem, "Rock and Hawk," as well as an original invitation to the June 10, 1955, "Special Recognition Service in Honor of the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Graduation from Occidental College of Robinson Jeffers.
